Keeps Gettin' Better

Hallway conversation:

K: I keep smelling cinnamon around the office.R: Oh, yeah. They put a cinnamon air freshener in the women's bathroom!

I'm then called into my bosses office:

B: I bet they're trying to cover up bad smells coming from the drain.K: Well, there's always an air freshener in there - I think the cinnamon is just more festive.B: Well, you know, if you let a floor drain get dry, it starts to smell really bad.K: Yeah, I think I knew that.B: I think you need to go in once a week and pour a bottle of water down the drain to keep the smell down.K: Um, well, have you talked to building maintenance about this?B: Yeah, I mentioned it. I go into the men's every week and do that - it really keeps the smell down.K: Uh-Huh.
